teenager. this is the photo of kristina craig who went missing yesterday. her father says that kristina has the mentality of a child. she is not on medication but she does see a psychologist. he says she's left before but always returns before dark. >> just scared, on pins and needles. knowing she doesn't know what kind of trouble she can put herself in right now. the scary thing is, she has no problem asking somebody for help for food, money, but knowing that she could ask the wrong person, not knowing who to trust, who not to trust, you know if she asks somebody for a ride, how does she know that she's going to be taken to where she's asking to go. >> kristina craig was last seen asking a group of girls for a

ride to modesto. her father thinks she's trying to find her estranged mother. the murders happened just at 9:00 last night. inside that home vallejo police investigators found the bodies of two. family identify them as sean jones and his fiance. >> we're talking about a person who has killed four people. >> four people. >> not one, not two. >> two living adults and two on the way. i have two grand kids i will never see. >> my daughter was a beautiful person. she was going to school to better herself. she had just got off the phone with me at about 9:15. the next thing we know we were getting a phone call regarding my child.

i guess she walked in on whatever was happening. and at that time, they went ahead and killed her as they did him. and all i'm asking for is for somebody to please come forward with some information. if you have anything, we need to know. >> witnesses say they saw two men wearing dark hoodies running away from the scene shortly after the shots were fired. anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at the vallejo police department. a female body was found this morning near a hiking trail in aromas. the bodies were found near cannon road just off highway 101. although the san benito county deputies are leading this investigation, they have asked the santa clara county sheriffs to help out in the case. deputies say the victim is an adult female who has not been dead for too long. the age and name of the person

have not been released. deputys are now looking into who killed her. remembering a chp officer killed on duty this week. kenyan youngstrum was killed along interstate 80 near alamo. he was pronounced dead tuesday night. >> reporter: family after family, pouring in to show their respect. the memorial at the highway contra costa office grows. officer youngstrom is being remembered by students. >> we asked classrooms to help. so they made a card, and we made a book. i think she made a couple. >> we saw the ambulance and

yeah, and we were out there and we had lots of conversations with the police officers. we didn't know initially how serious it was and what happened. >> reporter: now the seriousness of the tragedy has hit home. the community is in grief. >> i heard that he was stationed out of this office here so i thought i would come and pay my respects. say a little prayer and salute him. >> reporter: this tragedy is still so fresh, some people passed by looking on in disbelief. almost as if making that trip to this memorial actually confirms to them that officer youngstrom's passing is a reality. alicia reed, kron4 news. we have another round of clear skies in store for us this evening. some patchy coastal fog that we'll be waking up to. taking a look at those, getting

a lot of californians are likely be busy shopping online. there on amazon scooping up items before the popular website has to start charging a tax. a 7.25% tax will be charged. we share a tip that will help you continue saving some money when you shop. >> reporter: it's the end of an era, a glorious era. i love finding amazon boxes at my door because i know i've saved money. on average you can save about 12% from buying an item through amazon.com instead of going into a store and buying that same item. a big chunk of that savings is because amazon has not had to

charge sales tax. that's coming to an end. amazon will continue to offer free shipping on a lot of items that total over $25. i recommend you become a prime member. it gives you two day shipping on almost every amazon item there is. without a $25 minimum requirement. and prime members have access to amazon's video streaming service. 25,000 tv shows and movies you can watch on your tv or mobile device. it's like netflix streaming but offered by amazon. when you combine that and the free shipping it's a great deal. amazon was able to not charge sales tax before now being not having a physical presence in california because they had no affordses affordses -- no addresses here they did not have to charge taxes. it is unfair, many people have

developed a habit of shopping on amazon or other sites and are not visiting their local stores as much. so california will reap a lot of money from this. it's expected to gain $150 million in sales tax on this. now that amazon will collect taxes, it might as well open shipping warehouses here. and it plans to. two warehouses are being built that will bring jobs to california. in the next few years they will have as many as 10 distribution centers staffing thousands. having these warehouses here will mean quicker delivery of items if you do continue to purchase on amazon. gabe slate, kron4 news. we're expecting mostly clear skies, some patchy fog but over all going to be lovely. then even warmer temperatures expected as we head into your workweek. so futurecast four is showing

the department of labor says the economy added 96,000 jobs across the country in august. a weak number and far fewer than expected and predicted. the national unemployment rate fell to 8.1% for august from 8.3% in july. however, the drop in unemployment was caused by the fact that nearly 370,000 people stopped looking for work all together. coming up, sports the a's take on king felix and the mariners in seattle. and super marco does it again for the giants and the opener of their monster series against the dodgers. gary is coming up next, he has highlights.

good evening everybody, the giants are the real thing. the ballpark in san francisco, brian wilson gets out with some motivated teammates including tim lincecum. and lincecum pretty good. seven strike out, seven walks getting out of trouble in the 6th inning. the dodgers did go ahead. but hey back come the giants. hunter pence cannot be handled. pagan scores, game tied at two. marco scutero continues to be a man in the clutch. it drops in right field. home is

home is blanco home is skutero. 5-2 giants they're now up by five 1/ -- 5-1/2 games. i know it's still the first week in september but they win one more and that might be the knock out blow. three straight losses for the angels. had a few fans wondering if the fun was about to stop. the a's, george cateros a three run block. hernandez 4-2/3. i heard interesting you know they were kicking it around on the a's broadcast tonight. that ever since hernandez pitched that perfect game he wasn't very good because it takes a lot out of you. 5-0, oliver perez, tries to throw behind his to
